Medicrea launched the new generation of LigaPASS, the company's band connector technology for posterior thoraco-lumbar fixation, in the United States.
Here are five key takeaways:
1. The LigaPASS 2.0 generation technology features number of improvements from the initial technology.
2. The technology is now cleared for use in adolescent idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis patients 10 years of age and older.
3. The technology includes two new connectors — the LigaPASS LP and the LigaPASS Open.
4. The first iteration of LigaPASS has been used in more than 5,000 surgeries worldwide in the past two years.
5. Medicrea focuses on the design, manufacture and distribution of innovative technologies for patient-specific spinal surgery. The company received FDA clearance for the UNiD late last year.
